OVERVIEW


Слайд 9WHAT IS A COMMUNITY?


Слайд 10HOLY TRINITY EXEMPLIFIES COMMUNITY
3 Persons
1 God
United in perfect love


Слайд 11“All men form but one community. This is so because all

stem from the one stock which God create to people the entire earth, and also because all share a common destiny, namely God. His providence, evident goodness, and saving designs extend to all men against the day when the elect are gathered together in the holy city which is illumined by the glory of God…”

Notra Aetate (Declaration on the Relation of the Church to
Non-Christian Religions), no. 1



Слайд 12“As they become familiar with the Christian way of life and

are helped by the example and support of sponsors, godparents, and the entire Christian community, the catechumens learn to turn more readily to God in prayer, to bear witness to the faith, in all things to keep their hopes set on Christ, to follow supernatural inspiration in the deeds, and to practice love for neighbor, even at the cost of self-renunciation.”

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA), no. 75



Слайд 14Who showed you what it means to be a Christian by

their practice of the faith?



Слайд 15
THE DOMESTIC CHURCH


Слайд 16
“The Christian family constitutes a specific revelation and realization of ecclesial

communion, and for this reason too it can and should be called ‘the domestic Church.’"

(Familiaris Consortio, no. 21)


Слайд 17“In the union of husband and wife
you give a sign of

Christ’s loving gift of grace,
so that the Sacrament we celebrate
might draw us back more deeply
into the wondrous design of your love.”

Preface,
Mass for the Celebration of Marriage

MATRIMONY MODELS CHRIST’S UNION WITH THE CHURCH

Слайд 19How has your family helped you grow in faith? How have

they been a “domestic Church” in your life?



Слайд 20
THE PARISH COMMUNITY


Слайд 21
“The parish is the presence of the Church in a given

territory, an environment for hearing God’s word, for growth in the Christian life, for dialogue, proclamation, charitable outreach, worship and celebration. In all its activities the parish encourages and trains its members to be evangelizers. It is a community of communities, a sanctuary where the thirsty come to drink in the midst of their journey, and a centre of constant missionary outreach.”

Pope Francis
Evangelii Gaudium, no. 28

Слайд 22Proclaim God’s Word
Grow Disciples
Perform the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy
Pray

Together
Worship

PUT ANOTHER WAY…


Слайд 23Parishes are places where disciples of Jesus Christ come together to

do the things disciples do.



Слайд 24Parishes are places where disciples of Jesus Christ come together to

do the things disciples do.



Слайд 26“We must recognize that if part of our baptized people lack

a sense of belonging to the Church, this is also due to certain structures and the occasionally unwelcoming atmosphere of some of our parishes and communities, or to a bureaucratic way of dealing with problems. In many places an administrative approach prevails over a pastoral approach, as does a concentration on administering the sacraments apart from other forms of evangelization.”

Pope Francis
Evangelii Gaudium, no. 63

Слайд 28Is your parish a place where “disciples come together?” If so,

how? If not, what could be done to make it such a place?



Слайд 29
CHRISTIANS AND THE CULTURE


Слайд 31AFFIRMATIVE ORTHODOXY
Term coined by John Allen in 2008
“[A] tenacious defense of

the core elements of classic Catholic doctrine, but presented in a relentlessly positive key.”

Слайд 32AFFIRMATIVE ORTHODOXY
“Christianity, Catholicism, isn’t a collection of prohibitions: it’s a positive

option. It’s very important that we look at it again because this idea has almost completely disappeared today. We’ve heard so much about what is not allowed that now it’s time to say: we have a positive idea to offer.”

Pope Benedict XVI, 2006

Слайд 33AFFIRMATIVE ORTHODOXY
Not about soft-peddling “difficult teachings”
Emphasis on the positive, affirmation
Joy as

charism of New Evangelization


Слайд 34Who do you know that is an example of a joyful

Christian? How can you live this type of faith publicly?
